Cameron Holmes Shares His Free Throw Routine

Deep breath. Three dribbles. A wrap-around motion with the right hand, then bend and shoot. That's the free throw routine for Millennium High School's Cameron Holmes, a left-handed guard from Goodyear, Arizona.

Holmes says the sequence is as much mental as mechanical—enough structure to stay focused, not so much that he overthinks the moment. The routine buys him time to breathe, reset, and knock down the shot with confidence.
